The National Safety Council recommends a 12-inch depth of wood chips extending six feet out from all play equipment. To maintain this depth, install a one-foot timber border around the playset. Fresh pine chips may attract insects for a few days due to sweet sap, but once rain washes the sap away, bugs lose interest. Your mountain of chips from removed pines is an excellent, cost-free surfacing material—just ensure adequate depth and containment.
